A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTS

"Hello and welcome to the Kappa Chapter of Epsilon Eta at Cornell University!

Founded in 2017, our chapter is Cornell’s first professional honors sustainability fraternity. Though we require a passion for sustainability to join, we are not solely an “environmental science” fraternity. We welcome undergraduate students from all majors and backgrounds, and strive to foster a community in which people with diverse interests and identities can work together in pursuit of a more just and sustainable world.

By choosing to become a member, you can expect to join a tight-knit community of both current students and alumni. This ever-growing network gives members the tools needed to grow themselves professionally and academically. As a chapter, we provide our members with the support necessary to achieve their post-graduation goals and to broaden their knowledge on the incorporation of sustainability into various industries.

Epsilon Eta has profoundly shaped our academic, professional, and social experiences at Cornell. Our organization has provided a dynamic platform to pursue our passions for sustainability and environmentalism, seamlessly integrating these values into all aspects of our lives beyond the classroom. As official members, we found ourselves immersed in a community of driven and passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds and majors, all united by a shared commitment to sustainability. Joining Epsilon Eta offers you the opportunity to forge meaningful connections with mentors, friends, and supporters, just as we have. Beyond personal growth, the service-oriented nature of our brotherhood empowers you to engage with the greater Ithaca community, address pressing local environmental challenges, and apply your classroom knowledge in impactful ways. Epsilon Eta has given us, and our members, a deep sense of purpose and belonging, making it an integral part of our Cornell journey and a cornerstone of our continued dedication to this organization.

Thank you once again for taking the time to learn about our chapter. We hope to see you during Recruitment.
